IM ABLE is excited to say that we have been tackling a busy summer full of new and exciting events and programs. With the success of this year's Got the Nerve? Triathlon along with other grants we have been able to add more programs, provide grants and have been able to touch more lives with our mission of an active lifestyle.

 

Getting out into the community to help people realize the potential and possibilities of leading an active lifestyle despite their physical challenges is always an inspiring time for us all.  

 

Seeing the look on an 11 year old's face, who lives with spina bifida, when she gets on a handcycle and rides like an able child is priceless. Giving her and many others like her the tools to look at life in a different perspective is the reason why we do what we do.

 

We continue to move forward and build upon the successes we've had with the support of all of you and are happy to share with you our stories. We hope they can inspire you like they've done for us.

 

Warmest Regards,  

 

 

 

Chris Kaag
